So one user asks “Isn’t this the guy that interviewed a terrorist and endorsed their propaganda video”. Another user accuses them of “making stuff up” and that they got that view from “Zionist propaganda”. Hasan introduces said person as a “Houthi rebel” and literally played Houthi propaganda on his stream to another streamer. Houthis are a designated terrorist org.

Tokenboomer removed original question for misinformation. I point all the above out to the individual claiming the first user was “making it up”; Token then removes my reply for “genocide denial”. Despite not denying or even discussing the genocide that’s occurring. Just dishonesty or Hasan fans?

    Firstly, no one defines terrorism around the cruelty of a state’s laws. Terrorism is usually defined around political violence that disregards whether the victims are combatants or civilians, with the aim of instilling fear far beyond those directly affected.

    Secondly, buggery was a capital offense in England & Wales until 1861, and they didn’t completely decriminalize it until 2001. Were they terrorists?

      Im aware, this is the human rights violations section of their wiki. Shall I post all the atrocities they’ve committed for you to “what about”? The deplorable human rights violations committed in Palestine should be ignored then, if England or the US or (insert western country) has committed them any time in the past several hundred years? No.

      Children as young as 13 have been arrested for “indecent acts” for alleged homosexual orientation or “political cases” when their families do not comply with Houthi ideology or regulations.

      Killing/arresting the children of political dissidents (or sending them to be raped in jails) isn’t to instil fear? Honestly wild thinking that Houthi’s are worth defending purely because they’re enemies of Israel.
